How does that work when you don't live with your parents?

Rents are extremely expensive and would slow down the "build a safety net" part of the cycle.

I'm confused... Markdown is plaintext.

You can also easily string them together into a fancy danger necklace

To be frank it's not Amazon's problem.

Its the content publishers problem.

And Amazon isn't enabling this, they're just making an Android device.

The users are putting software onto the device.

This article sets a dangerous precedent. That if Amazon doesn't lock the firestick down like Apple that they're enabling piracy.

Its not Googles nor Microsoft's responsibilities either. They helped, probably solely for money, but they're not obligated to continue to update their DRM.

This article should have framed how DRM repeatedly hasn't worked.

You know. I did just finish "The Expanse" and considering it's at risk of not continuing maybe I should start Star Trek

Maybe I got lucky. But I financed half of a car once, got the GAP insurance, and was hit at a red light.

The car was totaled, but I was also upside down on the loan. I ended up walking away with a profit.

It definitely feels like a risk/reward thing. But Im glad I had it when I needed it. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a scam, but I do feel like regular car insurance is.

You bad they didn't get GAP insurance

Is that 4.5 trillion including cost to the individual? Or just production.

Because I imagine the cost to the individual is a lot higher than it normally would be because of the profit incentive.

I imagine the number would be somewhat lower if it was near cost because it's govt funded. Curious how significant that difference would be

I think it needs to complete a circuit for the tv to detect there's headphones in. Maybe a small ground wire to connect to one of the L/R channels?
